Even in its Beta stage, I think, AirPress must have its potential to be a platform to blog. It can support WordPress and other blog softwares.
Nowadays, most of bloggers need to access a web interface to write blog posts and “publish” them. They need to backup their database and software periodically in order not to lose their years of effort. It’s not a very easy job. In addition, you can not blog when you are offline.
Two years ago, a China-based blog community – i170.com, developed an offline blog software which was tightly integrated with their online blog+community. It’s very attractive to their users, like me, which could be used not only to blog and archieve, but also to manage RSS feeds. So i170 guys call it a knowledge management platform. From some time last year, i170 changed their free policy for their blogging tool. I don’t know what’s the current functionality just now. Read more…
Yesterday, WordPress development team released its newest version 2.3, with a lot of exciting features, such as native tagging support, plugin update notification, URL handling improvements, and etc. The tag cloud is very interesting from its preview versions. This release is named for the great tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon.
Native tagging support allows you to use tags in addition to categories on your post, if you so choose. We’ve included importers for the Ultimate Tag Warrior, Jerome’s Keywords, Simple Tags, and Bunny’s Technorati Tag plugins so if you’ve already been using a tagging plugin you can bring your data into the new system. The tagging system is also wicked-fast, so your host won’t mind.
It must lead to a wave of downloading and upgrading of worldwide bloggers. There have been a ton of posts on howto of upgrade and compability of plugins. Click here to download.
I believe you must be using one or more instant messager(s) to keep in touch with your friends and colleagues. You will have a long list for IMs if you like to keep “on-line” to many community and friends, ICQ, MSN, YIM, AIM, Skype, QQ, and new coming MySpaceIM, etc. The concept of “presence” has been becoming one important elements in Web 2.0 style personal life.

Today I tried to upgrade my wordpress blog from 2.1.3 to 2.2.2 with Fantastico. The upgrade operation is very clear and straightforward, just click links following the instructions. After seconds, the upgrade was almost finished. A big surprise to me was to find that Chinese characters were displayed into a mess, “数???….”. What’s up?
Before this upgrade, I backuped my data via the “export” function of wordpress. At this moment, I found I could not upload to import it due to the 2Mb limitation of wordpress. Stupid! Secondly, I found the Chinese characters could not be displayed even in the posts I just typed in. What’s the problem?
I began to dig in the Internet. This link did help me. I followed the post and comment out the two lines in my wp-config.php (or just remove them):
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8′);
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);
then I save the file. The web pages get restored! Chinese characters can be displayed normally. It’s great!
